Vegan Mac De Luxe
Vegan Mac & Cheese is always a win! Level it up with some truffle oil and vegan meat alternative. I used Louisville Vegan Toppers for this one.
Ingredients
- 8 Oz Macaroni
- 1 Cup cashews
- 1 Cup Vegan broth
- ¼ Cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp truffle oil
- 2 Cloves garlic
- seasonings
- vegan meat (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni or pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, truffle oil, minced garlic, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a large saucepan, heat the cashew mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
- Add the cooked macaroni or pasta to the saucepan and stir until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and serve the truffle deluxe mac and cheese hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, breadcrumbs, or vegan Parmesan cheese if desired.
